Age-related differences in appetitive trace conditioning and novel object recognition procedures (2019)
Journal Article
Marshall, H., Pezze, M., Fone, K., & Cassaday, H. (2019). Age-related differences in appetitive trace conditioning and novel object recognition procedures. Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, 164, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nlm.2019.107041

Appetitive trace conditioning (TC) was examined over 6 months in younger-adult (2-8 months) and middle-aged (12-18 months) male Wistar RccHan rats to test for early age-related impairment in working memory. Novel object recognition (NOR) was included... Read More about Age-related differences in appetitive trace conditioning and novel object recognition procedures.

Role of the anterior cingulate cortex in the retrieval of novel object recognition memory after a long delay (2017)
Journal Article
Pezze, M. A., Marshall, H. J., Fone, K. C., & Cassaday, H. J. (2017). Role of the anterior cingulate cortex in the retrieval of novel object recognition memory after a long delay. Learning and Memory, 24(7), 310-317. https://doi.org/10.1101/lm.044784.116

Previous in vivo electrophysiological studies suggest that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACgx) is an important substrate of novel object recognition (NOR) memory. However, intervention studies are needed to confirm this conclusion and permanent lesi...

Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition (2017)
Journal Article
Bast, T., Pezze, M., & McGarrity, S. (2017). Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition. British Journal of Pharmacology, 174(19), 3211-3225. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.13850

We review recent evidence concerning the significance of inhibitory GABA transmission and of neural disinhibition, i.e. deficient GABA transmission, within prefrontal cortex and hippocampus for clinically relevant cognitive functions. Both regions su... Read More about Cognitive deficits caused by prefrontal cortical and hippocampal neural disinhibition.

Dopamine D1-like receptor signalling in the hippocampus and amygdala modulates the acquisition of contextual fear conditioning (2015)
Journal Article
Voigt, J. P., Lee, J. L. C., Heath, F. C., Jurkus, R., Bast, T., Pezze, M. A., …Stevenson, C. W. (2015). Dopamine D1-like receptor signalling in the hippocampus and amygdala modulates the acquisition of contextual fear conditioning. Psychopharmacology, 232(14), 2619-2629. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-015-3897-y

RATIONALE: Dopamine D1-like receptor signalling is involved in contextual fear conditioning, but the brain regions involved and its role in other contextual fear memory processes remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to inves... Read More about Dopamine D1-like receptor signalling in the hippocampus and amygdala modulates the acquisition of contextual fear conditioning.
